Saturday October 16, 2010 - Orwigsburg Scenic Hike with Some History

6 miles


We will do a 6 mile loop hike out over the ridge and down into the valley, coming into town to see some historic buildings. We will be passing a cemetery, nursing home, school, ball fields and through two wooded areas. Hopefully we will find some benches to take a break for some snacks. Bring water, snacks and dress in layers for a lovely fall day (we hope), with colored leaves.

Meeting place: 9:30 am, Redner’s Market, Rt. 61 North, Leesport
